Fuma

Fuma (후마), born Murata Fuma (村田風雅) on June 29, 1998, in Shizuoka, Japan, is the sub-leader and oldest member of &TEAM, the nine-member J-pop group under YX Labels. At 180 cm with blood type B and INTJ wiring, he operates as the group's elder statesman: measured, driven, and shaped by years of professional performance before most of his bandmates had finished school.

Fuma started dancing at age six and was working professionally by his early twenties, including a stint as a backup dancer for BTS during their Japan concerts. He joined HYBE's trainee pipeline through the NCHallengers project in 2019, briefly registered for Produce 101 Japan Season 2 before withdrawing prior to broadcast, and entered the 2022 survival show and-Audition: The Howling as a confirmed pre-debut member. His sub-leader role was set from the beginning. Motto: once you decide to do something, don't give up.

Since the group's December 7, 2022 debut with First Howling: ME, Fuma has been a steady creative and structural force through every major release including the Yukiakari album and the 2025 Korean-market debut Back to Life, which earned a triple crown in its first week.
